Same profit. Three tax bills.
How you set up your business changes what you take home.
On $150K of profit (single owner):
→ Sole prop / LLC: SE tax on almost all of it (~$21,200)
→ S-corp: payroll tax on your salary only (~$13,800)
→ C-corp: taxed twice — 21% + dividends
An S-corp election here could save about $7,400 a year in self-employment tax. Pass-throughs also get the 20% QBI deduction; C-corps don't.
Your business is unique — the right setup depends on your numbers. Comment "ENTITY" or send us a message and we'll point you in the right direction.
